A laid back, back garden, family portrait session for my pal and her relatives. The weather was glorious for us, and I spent an hour snapping the kids as they showed off their kid skills and mixed in a few posed shots with the grown-ups. I don't often shoot portraits, so it's especially fun when I do, they always have this commercial quality to them and with kids they pretty much always come out looking like they've been photographed for a magazine because they just don't hold back the same way we learn to as adults and that always produces gorgeous results.
